The Vail Tigercats knocked off the Hialeah Firecats, 4-3, in Western AA action at Vail Grounds. Vail pitcher and Caracas, Venezuela, native Danny Gonzales had an outstanding performance. Vail reliever Rich Sargent picked up the win, upping his record to 4-2. Paul Lessard took the loss. Vail is now 78-59. Hialeah is 45-92.

In the bottom of the third, with two out and the game tied, 0-0, 26-year old center fielder Lee Muza won it for Vail. With runners on 2nd and 3rd, Muza hit a 0-2 slider from Frank Howerton for a 2-run single, giving his team the 2-0 win.

"I'll probably toss and turn tonight," Hialeah manager John Costa said, following the tough loss.
